Aprecomm Applauded by Frost & Sullivan for Revolutionizing ISP Network Management with its AI-driven Smart Home Solutions

AI-powered self-optimizing and self-healing network intelligence enables ISPs to deliver exceptional user experiences, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce churn.

SAN ANTONIO, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan recently researched the smart home-as-a-service industry and, based on its findings, recognizes Aprecomm with the 2025 Global Transformational Innovation Leadership Award. The company is transforming how internet service providers (ISPs) approach online experience, thanks to its AI-powered network intelligence platform designed to optimize, self-heal, and proactively manage home networks in real-time. Read the award report here: https://www.frost.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Aprecomm-Award-Write-Up.pdf

Aprecomm addresses a major gap in the market: the lack of visibility ISPs have into their networks. Rather than relying solely on signal strength or macro-level performance metrics, Aprecomm enables ISPs to gain deep, actionable insights into subscriber behavior, application usage, and Wi-Fi performance across the home or business. This innovation is particularly impactful in today’s environment, where remote work, entertainment streaming, and smart device adoption continue to rise, placing increased demand on home networks.

The company’s AI-driven platform consists of an integrated suite of tools tailored for ISPs. Vyom Config Service (VCS) allows remote configuration and management of broadband devices, while Virtual Wireless Expert (VWE) and Virtual Network Expert (VNE) provide real-time visibility, diagnostics, and automated network optimization. Aprecomm’s patented quality of experience (QoE) algorithm measures Wi-Fi performance per device and resolves issues proactively, significantly reducing customer support calls and technician visits.

In a deployment with ACT Fibernet, Aprecomm helped deliver up to 4x speed improvements for connected devices and steered over 70% of laptops and mobile devices to optimal Wi-Fi channels. In another case, Excitel Broadband reduced truck rolls by 62%, support call durations by 30%, and first-call resolution times by 35%, all while growing its subscriber base past one million.

Frost & Sullivan’s independent analysis also highlights Aprecomm’s evolving AI engine, Evolv®, which continuously improves by learning from real user data. With full application-level insights and an expanding library of capabilities, Evolv enables ISPs to deliver tailored experiences—especially crucial for bandwidth-intensive use cases like 4K streaming and online gaming. In partnership with Qualcomm and other leading OEMs, Aprecomm is prioritizing performance optimization directly at the hardware level for seamless, high-quality experiences.

Further strengthening its market position, Aprecomm has formed strategic global partnerships with companies such as Qualcomm, Nokia, Hitron Technologies Americas, Edgecore Networks, OpenGlobe, and ThinkTechnology. These collaborations have enabled the company to embed its AI-powered solutions into next-gen Wi-Fi 7 routers and gateways, accelerating time-to-market and enhancing ISP monetization opportunities globally.

“Aprecomm empowers ISPs with real-time, data-driven insights that transform network operations from reactive to proactive,” said Vivien Pua, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Its commitment to building subscriber-centric, self-evolving platforms is revolutionizing ISP business models and redefining customer satisfaction in the smart home ecosystem.”

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has leveraged competitive intelligence to successfully execute a strategy that results in stronger market share, competitive brand positioning, and customer satisfaction.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in various regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analyses, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

About Frost & Sullivan

For six decades, Frost & Sullivan has been world-renowned for its role in helping investors, corporate leaders, and governments navigate economic changes and identify disruptive technologies, Mega Trends, new business models, and companies to action, resulting in a continuous flow of growth opportunities to drive future success.

Corti Launches Medical Dictation API, Democratizing Access to Premium Dictation Technology

New Specialized Medical Dictation API and SDK Enables Developers to Build Trustworthy Dictation Solutions in Record Time

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Corti, the leading AI infrastructure provider for healthcare, today opened access to its healthcare-specialized Dictation API, powered by its Solo foundation model. By launching this specialized API, Corti is democratizing access to premium dictation technology, enabling software vendors of all sizes to compete with existing solutions and tailor them to the highly specialized needs of diverse practitioners across healthcare.

State-of-the-art speech recognition like Whisper struggles with medical transcription, showing word error rates of up to 40 percent on medical dictation. Healthcare language requires specialized AI built with a deeply nuanced understanding of medical terminology.

A new standard in healthcare dictation

Early user feedback confirms Corti’s technical superiority over leading competitors in AI dictation, reporting up to 99 percent accuracy versus the industry standard of 92 percent. The Dictation API recognizes dynamic commands, to control any software system and quickly learns new medical terminology.

From radiology suites to emergency departments, family doctors to psychologists, Corti’s dictation technology adapts to each unique healthcare environment. This precision transforms clinical documentation from a burden into an asset – freeing healthcare professionals to focus on patient care while ensuring accurate, comprehensive medical records.

Specialized dictation for complex clinical settings

While the market has shifted toward ambient AI for general documentation, many critical healthcare workflows require dictation tools capable of handling highly technical communication that general-purpose AI transcription tools often miss.

“Radiology is a perfect example of where general-purpose ambient AI falls short. It simply doesn’t fit the workflow,” said Frederik Brabant, MD, Chief Medical Strategy Officer at Corti. “Radiologists require extreme precision in highly technical language while dictating notes. Our specialized dictation technology meets these unique needs, enabling faster, more accurate reporting while reducing cognitive load – and the real-time component is crucial, as radiologists need to follow the cursor while dictating to maintain their train of thought.”

Built for developers, designed for healthcare

“We designed this API to be both powerful and easy to integrate,” said Lars Maaløe, Corti Co-Founder and CTO. “With just a few lines of code, developers can access our Solo foundation model for industry-leading medical dictation. And the amazing thing here is that you finally get truly adaptive technology. If there are terms or voice environments where we can improve, the system can adapt really quickly, learn those complicated cases and be updated in a very short time.”

Corti’s lightweight dictation API integrates seamlessly into any healthcare application with minimal effort. The included web component SDK allows developers to implement the technology in browser applications in less than an hour – a process that traditionally takes weeks or even months.

About Corti

Corti is a research and development company that specializes in state-of-the-art AI foundation models for healthcare. Corti’s mission is to eliminate administrative hurdles in healthcare and life sciences and bring expert-level healthcare reasoning to every corner of the globe, driving down costs and improving the quality of care.

Corti’s models integrate seamlessly into any healthcare application through Corti’s SDKs and APIs, enabling vendors, providers, and payers to leverage safe, cutting-edge AI across extensive use cases in healthcare.

China Telecom and HKUST Forge Strategic Partnership to Drive AI and Quantum Innovation

HONG KONG, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — China Telecom Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “China Telecom”) and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement recently, marking a significant step in strengthening industry-academia-research collaboration. As part of this partnership, both parties announced the establishment of an Artificial Intelligence Innovation Laboratory and a Quantum Innovation Joint Laboratory. Additionally, they will launch a Joint Talent Development Program under a “1+2+1” innovation framework to drive cutting-edge technological advancements, facilitate research commercialization, and cultivate a high-caliber talent pipeline.

The agreement was formally signed by Ms. Liu Ying, Executive Vice President of China Telecom, and Prof. Kar Yan Tam, Vice-President for Administration and Business of HKUST.


Leveraging Premier Resources to Establish a Leading Innovation and Technology Hub

As a leading research university in Asia, HKUST is globally recognized for its excellence in research and innovation.

The center focuses on advancing foundational large models, developing vertical AI applications, and exploring AI governance frameworks.

As a global leader in integrated intelligent information services, China Telecom leverages its cloud-network integration expertise to transform into a service-oriented, technology-driven, and security-focused enterprise. The company continues to drive breakthroughs in cloud computing, computing power networks, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and quantum technology, reinforcing its position at the forefront of digital innovation.

This collaboration will fully harness HKUST’s cutting-edge research strengths and China Telecom’s industrial transformation expertise to drive innovation. Through the ‘1 Joint Management Committee + 2 Major Laboratories + 1 Talent Program’ framework, the partnership aims to establish a comprehensive innovation ecosystem spanning basic research, technological breakthroughs, commercial applications, and ecosystem development. The Artificial Intelligence Innovation Laboratory will focus on conducting research aligned with international standards, developing a robust evaluation system for large-scale models, and advancing AI technologies.

These efforts will strengthen the digital technology talent pool in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, laying a solid foundation for sustained innovation and development.

Aligning with National Strategy to Drive New Frontiers of Development

Prof. Nancy Ip, President of HKUST, expressed her sincere appreciation for China Telecom’s support. She remarked, “This collaboration seamlessly integrates HKUST’s research expertise with China Telecom’s industrial strengths. We will jointly address key national scientific challenges, drive industrial technology innovation, establish a robust talent development framework, and accelerate the transformation of technological advancements. Together, we can make a greater contribution to both Hong Kong and the nation.”

Mr. Ke Ruiwen, Chairman and CEO of China Telecom, underscored the company’s dedication to advancing national strategic goals through technological self-reliance and innovation. He stated, “China Telecom is committed to leveraging joint laboratories and talent programs in collaboration with HKUST to cultivate core competencies in strategic emerging fields. Together, we aim to accelerate the growth of new productive forces and contribute the strength of a leading central enterprise to the development of a digital China and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.”

This collaboration between China Telecom and HKUST sets a new benchmark for industry-academia-research partnerships in the fields of artificial intelligence and quantum technology.

Equipped with an electric power system delivering up to 258 horsepower and revolutionary electric boost technology (offering an additional 20 kW), these models achieve an impressive 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 6.5 seconds! The high-performance suspension system and track-inspired tires, specially tuned for JCW, elevate the iconic Go-Kart driving experience to new heights.

To pay homage to its racing spirit, the MINI John Cooper Works series boasts passionate details both inside and out: red, white, and black checkered flag emblems, an exclusive red racing interior, a black sports steering wheel with red stitching and a 12 o’clock stripe, paired with supportive racing seats that create an immersive motorsport atmosphere. The entire series comes standard with a Harman Kardon sound system, blending exhilarating engine sounds and vibrant music into a driving symphony.

Paired with the central OLED round instrument cluster’s track-inspired data display, every urban journey transforms into an ultimate playground.

The zero-emission design reduces urban pollution and saves fuel costs, perfectly embodying the modern eco-friendly lifestyle motto of ” stylish yet economical.” Whether navigating the Central financial district or cruising along the Repulse Bay waterfront, you can enjoy the thrill of zero-emission driving.

MINI’s Minimalist Design Aesthetic, Paired with Trendy Colors

The MINI John Cooper Works all-electric series seamlessly integrates technology and style, featuring iconic Chili Red roof options, exclusive racing stripes, and LED daytime running lights with illuminated JCW logo projections. The minimalist lines interpret futuristic design, making every MINI into a street sensation.

Additionally, the MINI electric family offers a variety of popular color options, including British Racing Green, Legend Grey, and Nanuq White. The new MINI Cooper SE Classic Style now includes an option for “white roof and mirror caps” and the highly sought-after Ocean Wave Green, allowing owners to customize their vehicle to reflect their personal style.

“With the launch of the new and electrified MINI JCW models, we believe that we have all the right ingredients in place to exponentially grow the MINI brand presence here in Hong Kong. Our strongest product portfolio, iconic and unmatched brand heritage, exceptional customer experience, and our passionate and loyal community of MINI-ACS fans make MINI unique in a class of our own.” — Raymond Tan, Managing Director, BMW Hong Kong Services Ltd expressed during the MINI John Cooper Works family launch event last night (April 8).
